accomplished its object, and he is
reelected Governor by a majority
larger than he received in 1885,
10000. The Legislature
is largely Republican. The Labor
vote was large in Cincinnati and
Hamlinton county, coming off the
Democrats mostly and giving the
Republicans heavy gains. A notice
able feature is the falling off in the.
Prohibition vote.
PENNSYLVANIA.
The Republicans elect Treasurer
and Supreme Judge by about 49,
900 plurality, which is Democrat
&c gain of 5000 to 10000 over the
vote for Governor last year. There
were spirited contests for Sheriff
in Philadelphia and Common Pleas
Judge in Allegheny county. The
Democrats elected both Sheriff and
Comptroller in Philadelphia by g.
900 to 5000 majority, defeating for
the former office VIM. R. Leeds,
in whose interest Blaine sent a let
ter across the ocean. In Allegheny
Major SIagle, Republican, defeated
Judge Bailey, Democrat, by only
500, Baily carrying the city of Pitts
bargh by 16OO.
MASSACHUSETTS.
In this State the Democrats were
beaten because they failed to
squarely endorse the administration
of President Cleveland, thus aliena-
ting the large Mugwump element.
The complete vote for Governor is as
follows; Amcs, Republican, 1892
Lowering, Democrat, 1881; Earle,
Prohibition, lO,697; Marks, Labor,
84S. Ames' plurality is 1901.
IOWA.
The Democrats of the Hawkeye
State have done well. The returns
are meagre, but what few have
been received show Democratic
gains, and the majority for LARA
bee. Republican candidate for Gov
ernor, will not be over 10000
This is doing well in a State that
has candidate for President, and
whore extra efforts was made to
increase the majority.
MINOR RESULTS.
Rhode Island elected Republican
Congressman to fill the vacancy in
the second district.
The prohibition amendment was
defeated in Oregon by an over
whelmlng majority, it only carrying
two counties. The city of Portland

elected in New Jersey.
Mississippi elected a Legislature
which is almost solidIy Democratic.
Detroit had a municipal election,
in which the Democrats elected the

of 16 Aldermen.
AT Chicago there was an election
for Judge of the Superior Court.
Judge Gary, before whom the An
archists were tried, was endorsed
by both Republicans and Democrats,

A River Front Railroad.

Why is it that the projected railroad
along the river front of this city from the
Central railroad wharves to those of the
Savannah, Florida and Western railway has
not been built? The right Of way was
secured several years ago, and it was ex-
pected at that time that the road would be
constructed at once.
The road would be of the greatest benefit
to Savannah 1t would not only enhance
the value of the wharves and warehouses
along the river front, but, also, would en-
able the wholesale merchants of this city to
handle their goods at much less expense.
The buildings which are adjacent to the
wharves have an immense storage capacity,
and their lower stories, in many instances,
are now useless. Ii the road in question were
built, merchandise of all kinds could be re-
ceived and shipped by river or rail at much
less cost than it can now be here, or at any
other city in the South.
One of the chief objects of Savannah
should be to increase her trade. She can
do that better by underselling her rivals
than III any other In order to sell goods
cheaply she must handle them cheaply.
Every unnecessary expense must be Topped
off. The expenses of doing business con-
sumo the profits of it.
A railroad under the bluff would increase
the facilities for doing business, and would
do away with the expense of transferring
merchandise from one point to another by
drays and trucks. The cars and steamers
would deposit goods ON the wharves close to
the warehouses, and would, also, receive
them there for distribution.
The city, the merchants, the wharf owners
and the railroads are all interested in having
this road built. Why, then, do they not
take some action towards building it,
If they would all pull together there is
reason for thinking that it would be con-
structed very soon. 1t would certainly pay
a big interest on the money invested in it.
Let some of the enterprising merchants
agitate this matter. If the road is built it
will be money in their pockets, as well as in
the pockets Of the river front property
owners

Queer Use for the Darlings.
From the Los Anqeles (Cal1 Times.

FROM tite LOS HHDettS ACut) L tHteS.
A farmer named August Pirch, who lives near
GarvOnza, is the happy possessor of dozen
fine. healthy children. These youngsters grow
fast, eat three or four hearty meals day, and
the way they wear out clothes is enough to
make wooden factory think n cyclone had
struck it. Mr.. Pirch has been in hot water with
his little fishes for years, and was about to give
up in despair when bright idea struck him
He had tract of land that could not he used
for the want of water But how TO irrigate the
land without spending a large sum of money
was mystery. A ditch would cost thousands
of dollars, but corner lots have not been so
plentiful in the Pirch family as the happy father
could have wished, and his handbook simply
showed 4 balance of a few hundreds instead of
thousands. He figured on the cost Of u wen
and found that he could stand q sixty-foot well
a cheap pump and one of those great big family
swings which are noticed at pleasure gardens
and German picnic grounds. The well was
bored, the pump was set up, and the swing was
put in working order.
Here, you little rascals," said the elder Pirch
to his little fishes, come out here and get in
:his swing. I'm going TO give you something "
play with In five minutes the children were
flying back and forth through the air. The
pump worked up and down. making merry
tune, and q fourteen-inch stream of water flowed
from the well. The children don't know that
they are working as the swing is some distance
from the well, and is connected by an iron rod
which works the pump, as the swing vibrates
back and forth. Mr.. Pireh is positive that the
youngsters will pump enough water during the
day TO irrigate a large tract of land

AN ALGERIAN DUEL.
Fierce Encounter Between an Arab
General and French Journalist.

H4SICO ElCOOIlL6r b0LW66n an ArdD
General and French Journalist.
From the Manchester Courier.
There was formerly in the French service in
Algeria general Of Arab origin, Yusuf by name
One day all Algeria was moved to laughter by a
satirical sketch of Gen Yusuf in the local papers
under the title of Monsieur Joujou." The
writer, it was said, was N. Arthur de Fronvielle
the editor of the paper, who took the response
bility Soon after, one fire morning, the jour
nalist heard a terrible knocking at the door
Come ini' 1t was Gen. Yusilf, who showed
his Arab visage at the threshold. He was fol
lowed by an ordnance officer. NJ. de Fronvielle
was still lying TRANQUILITY in bed. Are you
Yes" Was it you that called me Monsieur
Joajou? We must fight" AT your command,
General. Twill have couple of my friends
mol mo- None Of that nonsenser' thundered
Yusuf. 1--WE will fight Immediately. Under
stand? want to kill your ''Ah! in that case
permit me to rise. And where shall we fight if
BEDROOM, Yes" "All right. And this gen
tlemau will serve as a witnesS?' Yes" Very
well. I'm ready for you now"
9usuf drew his sabre and at sign his ord
nance officer did the same. The bedroom was
very small-nothing cheerful about this strange
duel. Take your choice, monsieur" said the
General, holding out both swords. Fronylel!e
tunic, rolled up his sleeves and held his sabre in
his bare arm, which was corded with the muscles
Of an athlete His white teeth shone from his
swarthy face Uttering yells like jackal and
bounding like tiger savage and frightful he
was making ready to transfx his adversary with
his first stroke. This stroke the newspaper man
Tended, but it cut him terribly on his right arm.
Yusuf stuck the point of his sabre in the floor
and said: You can't use your arm; to continue
the combat would be murder. We will finish
this affair after you are cured" NJ. de From
yielle saluted
The second day after the fight the General
presented himself at the wounded mans lodg-
ing. and regularly every morning thereafter.
Il hope you will forgive me for getting well so
slowly General; a little patience and am with
you, said Fronvielle Il am very patient an
swered Yusuf. When the wounded man was
able to 90 out at last, Gen. Yusuf was the first
to meet him. But it was to offer him his arm,
and ask him to lean on it. All his anger had
slowly changed to esteem.

of English jubilee mercy is exceedingly strained,
and drops only upon distant India, where no
danger exists that merciful sovereign may be
called upon to forgive the objectionable crime
OF boycotting. For the Irish the jubilee of the
